Within the past decade, he’s been on a boat, ran a hotel, and been incredibly depressed after his wife was murdered, and we eat it up (almost) every time. Folks love themselves some Drac, and you can count Luc Besson among them, because he’s be cooking up a Dracula movie of his own.

When I think about the fate of Universal’s Dark Universe — a franchise cancelled way before all planned installments were made — I am, admittedly, of two minds about it. On one hand, I find it sad that the studio which, essentially, invented the shared cinematic universe could not recapture the same magic with their classic monster movies line-up again amid the popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, on the other hand, if not for the failure of 2017’s The Mummy, we would not have gotten the inventive and…

Just a few months ago, actor Melissa Barrera was fired from Scream 7 over her pro-Palestinian stance in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Just before the weekend, Universal finally pulled back the curtain on its cryptic horror movie from filmmaking duo Radio Silence. The resulting film is Abigail, which sees Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens headline a team of kidnappers who snatch up a kid to hold her for ransom. The twist?

Unfortunately for them, the girl is actually a vampire, and too late the group realize that they’re trapped…

While we’ve long known Radio Silence was working on the next film in the Universal Monsters revival, and that their Scream leading lady, Melissa Barrera, was starring—the rest was just rumors. Now, we’ve got a title and a trailer that, frankly, appears to give an awful lot away about its vampire kidnapping plot.Hulu’s Hellraiser Reboot Has So-So Sights to Show YouEven still, this trailer is awesome.
